Crash on Arch linux

[netlexer]

I just installed the otter-browser-git package on an up-to-date Arch linux system, and the following text is output when invoking the otter-browser command in a terminal:

Calling _exit(1). Core file will not be generated.

The version otter browser reports itself as is "Otter 1.0.81" and the Qt libs are at 5.11.1.

[aurhat]

And now? New RC 12 is released.
PS. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Otter_Browser - probably better to use otter-browser-weekly

[jtgd]

Same here with Arch otter-browser, otter-browser-weekly, otter-browser-git. Looking forward to trying your browser.

[aurhat]

I don't know, maybe it's packagers fault.
Does AppImage package with RC 12 work: https://sourceforge.net/projects/otter-browser/files/otter-browser-rc12/ ?

[jtgd]

Installed otter-browser-0.9.99.3.zip from the link above and built. Same crash.

[aurhat]

I wrote "AppImage": https://sourceforge.net/projects/otter-browser/files/otter-browser-rc12/otter-browser-0.9.99.3-rc12-x86_64.AppImage/download
Make it executable first (!) and run.

[jtgd]

Oh, sorry, I thought that was for Mac or something. I get a different output, but still a crash:

probonopd/linuxdeployqt#209 - eh, in case of AppImage there is problem with Qt and OpenSSL on the newest Linux distributions... :/

[jtgd]

Is it an Otter issue, a Qt issue, or an SSL issue? Is someone working on it? Should I hold out hope that someday I will be able to try this browser?

[aurhat]

1. In AppImage package it's Qt issue: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5.11.2_Known_Issues
2. To fix the problem from the first post could you try the solution from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/otter-browser/ : "it's QtWebKit crash caused by Java plugin, currently there are two ways to solve it: - remove Java NPAPI plugin (just the plugin, no need to remove Java completely), - disable plugins in the browser (by adding this to ~/.config/otter/otter.conf: https://pastebin.com/raw/WiFz4CbV )?

~/.config/otter/otter.conf:
